Justice Amy Coney Barrett painted Big Tech’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop stories four years ago as a safeguard against foreign interference in an official Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday. In what could have been a landmark censorship case, Barrett, who wrote the majority opinion in Murthy v. Missouri, characterized tech giants’ reactionary censorship of the laptop story as a good-faith effort to minimize Russian meddling in the 2020 election.

President Joe Biden isn’t known for telling the truth. So, it came as no surprise when the Delaware Democrat got up on stage to tell some pretty tall tales during Thursday’s debate with former President Donald Trump. From the crisis he created at the U.S.-Mexico border to manufactured hoaxes about his opponent, there was almost no subject Biden didn’t lie about. Here are the 20 biggest whoppers he told during Thursday night’s matchup with the Orange Man.

The Texas Supreme Court ruled on Friday to uphold a Lone Star State law that effectively bans gender experimentation on children. In an 8-1 decision published on Friday, the highest court in the state confirmed the legislature’s May 2023 law prohibiting health care professionals from castrating and mutilating minors does not violate the state constitution, as a trial court had previously concluded.

First lady Jill Biden’s ex-husband has joined the chorus of people slamming her for apparently encouraging President Biden to stay in the election after his disastrous debate performance. “The Dr. Jill Biden who I’ve seen on TV in the last five years is not the same person I married or that I recognize in any way,” Bill Stevenson, who was married to Jill from 1970 to 1975, told The Post Saturday. “She’s matriculated into a completely different woman.” (Photo) Stevenson, 75, of Delaware, is a proud Trump supporter who has been vocal over the years about his bitterness with what he has at times called “the Biden crime family.”

Michael LaRosa, First Lady Jill Biden’s former spokesman, told Breitbart News Saturday that a conversation with President Joe Biden about stepping aside for another Democrat candidate would likely have to come from Congressional leadership. LaRosa, who served as Jill Biden’s spokesman in the Biden White House, joined Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle on the program just days after the president’s debate performance ignited mass panic (Snip) “Something like that, and I think it’s important for your audience to know, like, in both parties, something like that would probably have to come from, like, the leadership in Congress,” he said, indirectly referencing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and

Still no sticker shock, Janet? Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was spotted stocking up on groceries on Saturday — after dismissing a question about inflation and rising food prices earlier this week. Yellen, 77, and her husband, economist George Akerlof, stopped by a Giant Food store in Washington, DC, after grabbing lunch at Japanese restaurant Raku.

Octogenarian President Biden has difficulty functioning outside a six-hour window of daylight, according to an alarming new report. The 81-year-old commander in chief is prone to absent-minded gaffes and fatigue outside of the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or while traveling abroad, White House aides told Axios in a bizarre attempt to spin his disastrous debate performance. During the 90-minute trainwreck of a presidential debate — which kicked off five hours after the president’s peak performance window, at 9 p.m. — Biden often appeared vacant or slack-jawed, and on several occasions froze mid-thought, misspoke, or struggled to form coherent sentences.

Joe Biden on Friday held a campaign rally in North Carolina after he absolutely bombed at Thursday night’s debate against President Trump. 81-Year-old Joe Biden completely fell apart Thursday night. He glitched, froze up, stumbled through his words and had to be led off the stage by nurse Jill. He was in bad shape again on Friday. Nurse Jill stepped in again and ran cover for Joe Biden. Biden looked completely lost and scared as Jill Biden boasted that his strength is unshakeable.Why was Biden standing like that? This is elder abuse!

The media is trying to do it again concerning Joe Biden—multiple outlets feigning shock and amazement at the president’s declining mental faculties. We told you for months. We said he was off when his brain was running at 25 percent capacity at the G7 Summit in Italy. The more Biden was in front of the cameras, the more the American public saw a degrading old man who couldn’t do the job. It’s not like this was up for debate, as a Washington Post/ABC News poll found that 86 percent felt Biden was too old. The media instead went on a full-court press, trying to gaslight us into thinking Biden

President Biden was pictured stepping off Marine One in the Hamptons Saturday afternoon while grimacing and clutching wife Jill Biden’s arm — just two days after he made a frail showing at his first 2024 debate against Donald Trump. Biden, 81, and the first lady put up a united front at Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach, down to their coordinating blue-hued ensembles. The couple was on Long Island for a star-studded fundraiser at the home of hedge-fund billionaire Barry Rosenstein and his wife Lizanne — the first of two big-donor events the commander in chief has in the metro area Saturday — despite a national clamor

The Democratic Party is facing a potential crisis. Following Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump, concerns about his fitness to serve have intensified. The debate has left the party in a state of panic, with whispers of Biden stepping down becoming louder. It has always been the plan from the start, which is why they scheduled the debate for this year unusually early. Daily Mail reported: According to Democratic bigwig, Obama campaign guru David Axelrod, the Biden team scheduled one of the earliest presidential debates in history (June 27 on CNN) to prove to naysayers that Joe’s not going anywhere.

Joe Biden has rolled out Robert De Niro for another fundraising plea less than a day after the president’s disastrous debate performance, which has sent many Democrat megadonors scurrying for a possible replacement candidate. The Biden campaign blasted an email fundraiser Friday afternoon bearing a message from Robert De Niro, who praised Biden for what he called “decency, compassion, and honest, intelligent leadership.” The email contained no references to Thursday’s presidential debate, which was widely seen as a catastrophe for Biden.

In the wake of Joe Biden's debate implosion, there's a lot of panic going on in the Democratic Party. CNN's John King encapsulated it on Thursday night: "Very aggressive panic," he termed it. In the immediate wake of the debate, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spoke with Ben Ferguson on their podcast, "The Verdict," about the debacle. As Rebecca Downs at our sister site Townhall reported: Cruz agreed with King that "Joe Biden did unbelievably badly, that the degree of dementia he is facing right now, it has escalated to a point that it is unrecognizable," adding "I think there are a great many Democrats

I am worried about President Trump. Now that he has demolished Joe Biden in this week's presidential debate, many on the Left would like to see him vanish. Democrats are desperate, and likely to try to stop him by fair means or foul. This tweet from RealClearPolitics founder and CEO Tom Bevan, a hard realist who doesn't go into hysterics, is hard to disagree with: (snip) ...it is no secret that assassins are out there (look up “arkancide” and then when you're done with that, ask why security cameras were “malfunctioning” when Epstein “hung himself” in his jail cell.)

On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN NewsNight,” CNN Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones said that Republican claims that Vice President Kamala Harris is really on the ballot are accurate and “it’s hard to imagine” the Joe Biden that “you saw yesterday” on the debate stage “making it four-and-a-half more years. And so, you do have to acknowledge, there is a high likelihood that a Joe Biden victory ultimately means Kamala Harris will be president.” Host Abby Phillip said, “This has been something that they have described as a conservative talking point, a hitjob, that she’s really the one on the ballot. But it seems like, at this very moment,

“When I think that we are in the palace of the Holy Office, which is the exceptional witness of the Tradition and of the defense of the Catholic Faith, I cannot stop myself from thinking that I am at home, and that it is me, whom you call ‘the traditionalist,’ who should judge you.” So spoke Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1979, [Snip] As I stated in my communiqué of June 20, I do not recognize the authority of the tribunal that claims to judge me, nor of its prefect, nor of the one who appointed him.

Vice President Kamala Harris would be pressured to bring together leaders of the executive cabinet to push President Biden out of office via the 25th Amendment, under a new resolution introduced by Representative Chip Roy (R., Texas) on Friday. The resolution calls on Harris and members of the cabinet to “activate section 4 of the 25th Amendment to declare President Joseph R. Biden incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as Acting President.” The aforementioned section allows the vice president and a majority of the executive cabinet to decide whether the president is fit to serve.

Not surprisingly, the self-appointed “fact checkers” in the media went to town on Donald Trump’s remarks during Thursday’s debate, picking apart every utterance and rating them false even if they were mostly true. Also not surprising, President Joe Biden got a relative free pass. (Although to be fair to fact-checkers, it was often hard to tell what Biden was trying to say.) But what’s truly mind-boggling is that they missed the biggest lie Biden told all night. A lie that came out of his mouth as soon as he opened it. A lie that he then used to blame Trump

Five mental health professionals, some of whom already accused Donald Trump of being “dangerous,” prepared a risk assessment for New York state Judge Juan Merchan to consider in his July 11 sentencing decision on Trump, according to forensic psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a longtime critic of the former president. It isn’t clear whether all five are psychiatrists or may have other training. Their risk assessment could be a factor in the severity of Merchan’s sentence for Trump in Manhattan Criminal Court, which could be up to 20 years in prison for all 34 felony counts on which he was convicted last month.

President Biden’s world-shatteringly bad debate performance Thursday has Democrats and their media allies abuzz with the idea of replacing him. But as the whispers fly, remember that the people behind any such putsch would be the same as those who’ve been lying to everyone by insisting that Joe’s just fine the whole time. Incredibly, after Thursday night, they’re still lying.

After weeks of a campaign exposing Tractor Supply’s commitment to causes antithetical to its customer base’s values, the company has reversed course. “We have heard from customers that we have disappointed them,” the company said in a post on X after a three-week effort by Robby Starbuck shining a light on Tractor Supply’s far-left positions and activities. “We have taken this feedback to heart,” Tractor Supply continued, noting that moving forward, the company will only be involved in activities and donations directly tied to their business.

First lady Jill Biden drew backlash from conservatives on social media after President Joe Biden's presidential debate fiasco on Thursday evening, with one X, formerly Twitter, account calling her a "monster." During CNN's debate in Atlanta last night, Biden answered the moderators' questions with what his administration has currently accomplished and hopes to accomplish in another four years if he's reelected in November. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump deflected many answers and had little to say about the exact policies he would enact as president. However, the biggest takeaway from the debate was the dismal job Biden did at answering

Everyone, even CNN, knows that Joe Biden is completely lost. If anyone doubted that, the Thursday debate proved the point. And by completely lost, I mean that he could not maintain focus when asked questions, could not figure out how to look into the camera, and said many things that, frankly, made no sense. I flipped on CNN for kicks and giggles (and no small amount of schadenfreude) and was shocked by what I saw because, as we know, Democrats usually back their guy to the end—"to the pain," as one "Princess Bride" character famously quipped. Instead, I witnessed weeping and gnashing of teeth—and an execution squad.

ATLANTA - A recent TikTok video has gone viral, showing a user’s surprising experience with Walmart's grocery prices. The user explained in his video that he tried to use the "Reorder All" button for an order he placed two years ago, which originally cost $126.67. To his shock, the same order would now cost $414.39. The video has garnered around one million views, with most comments expressing similar astonishment at the apparent price increase. However, one TikTok user pointed out that some of the items in the original order were discontinued, leading to falsely inflated prices.

The first official presidential debate of 2024 was held on June 27, and the reactions are fascinating. Joseph Robinette Biden, who has held offices in the Newcastle County Council, the United States Senate, and the White House for the past 54 years, was clearly as close to incapacitated as one can imagine for a person currently holding public office. Biden frequently mumbled, often appeared not to know where he was or what the questions concerned (despite it being public knowledge that he had been given the questions in advance), even needed to be guided on and off the debate stage. This has embarrassed the politicians and pundits of the Left, with some

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) dodged on if President Joe Biden is like the person we saw on the debate stage on Thursday, but stated that “he is sharp and engaged, his cognitive capabilities are as good as ever.” Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “Senator, you mentioned Vice President Kamala Harris, she, repeatedly, last night, dodged Anderson Cooper’s questions about whether the Biden we saw in the debate is who he is every day. What’s your answer to that? Because you know him well.”

With the political world still reeling following Thursday evening’s CNN Presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald J. Trump, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson summed up most Americans’ reactions to the first 2024 faceoff by deeming it “the greatest mismatch in the history of Presidential debates.” On his weekly Salem Media Group news program THIS WEEK ON THE HILL, Speaker Johnson echoed national media verdicts that the debate was nothing short of a political catastrophe

Houston— The mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, the 12-year-old girl who was allegedly brutalized and murdered by two illegal migrants, was “shocked” when former President Donald Trump spoke with her 10 minutes before he took the debate stage Thursday, The Post can reveal. Alexis Nungaray’s best friend, Victoria Galvan, who was with the grieving mother when the two spoke, told The Post that Trump conveyed that there was no one he would’ve preferred to talk to before the debate than her. (Photo) “He was like, ‘I’m actually about to come on for a debate’ … He gave his condolences, and he said that he would be reaching back out to her,”

Swimmers have been warned to avoid several Maine beaches after officials made a repugnant discovery in the water. Beaches in Portland, Ogunquit, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Camden, Rockport and more were flagged for high levels of bacteria on Friday, reported News Center Maine. While members of the Maine Healthy Beaches program conducted routine testing, officials discovered alarming levels of enterococci bacteria - microorganisms that indicate possible contamination by fecal waste.

No one would think of the Beltway as being a place of the naive innocents of our society. Washington is the only ecosystem composed entirely of apex predators. Yet, this week everyone seems to be eternally surprised by what has been obvious for years.

The Supreme Court ruled Friday that the government cannot prosecute January 6 defendants under 1512(c)(2), the “Enron” statute, for generally obstructing “an official proceeding” unless they interfered with objects or documents. The bombshell decision could result in hundreds of convictions against non-violent January 6 defendants being overturned — and could result in at least some charges being dropped against President Donald Trump as well.1512(c)(2) was passed after the Enron scandal, when it was discovered that federal law had a loophole: it was illegal to instruct others to destroy evidence, but not illegal to destroy evidence oneself. Consequently, Congress passed a law prohibiting tampering with witnesses or evidence t

Chesapeake, Va.—Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump took a victory lap Friday afternoon during his first post-debate rally here in blue-leaning Virginia, where he painted Biden as a failed leader and poked fun at the growing chorus of Democrats who are publicly suggesting that the party should replace the president with a new candidate ahead of their August nominating convention in Chicago. Last night was “a big moment for people with common sense,” Trump told the crowd in Virginia, a state he lost by ten points in 2020. This year, Trump is bullish that he can flip this state that no Republican presidential candidate

Several major Hollywood donors for President Joe Biden have been sent into panic mode after President Joe Biden’s poor performance at Thursday night’s presidential debate. Anonymous Hollywood donors told Variety that they had received messages and feedback from donors in the media and entertainment industry who were panicked by what they saw from Biden during the debate. Donors reportedly called for Biden to “drop out” or they would not be “giving any more money” to the Democrat Party. During the presidential debate, Biden appeared to freeze. Biden also spoke with a hoarse voice and mumbled. The president was also unable to get through his closing statement without making a lot of errors.

Former President Bill Clinton defended President Joe Biden after his performance at the presidential debate on Thursday night against former President Donald Trump. In a post on X, Clinton highlighted how Biden had “given us 3 years of solid leadership,” and created a “record number of new jobs,” and was “making real progress solving the climate crisis,” among other things. “I’ll leave the debate rating to the pundits, but here’s what I know: fact and history matter,” Clinton wrote. “Joe Biden has given us 3 years of solid leadership, steadying us after the pandemic, creating a record number of new jobs, making real progress solving the climate crisis,
